Some snaps from Kurnell.

Been a while since I've posted here, but thought I might post some snaps I've taken recently with my little PHD Canon A80 (can't afford the illustrious DSLR just yet) Went for a ride out to the Botany Bay NP out at Kurnell to pass some time, here's a few of the photos I took.

Panorama of the cliffs at Cape Solander (stitched with Autostitch);


A rock over the cliffs;


An infra red shot of the cliffs (tried to WB off grass for a colour shot, but no grass in the shot made it look awkward);


Some shrubbery;


The photos are a little soft, I had a few filters stacked, and a UWA lens adapter which made the edges really soft. Any comments/critiques are welcome, I'm more into sports photgraphy so everything else is new to me

I'll have to take some decent shoes next time and take a walk round to the light house at Cape Baily, the walks about an hour so the sign says.

nice group of photos there
#1
the horizon needs leveling and playing with the shadows in the rocks down near they sea to bring out more detail would help
#2
nice, like it as is
#3
a little dark but still great
#4
a portrait crop would help here

#2 - for me - the rock is amazing as I can see an animals face. The mouth, nostrils and even an eye socket.

G'day,
The first pano's good but the curvature of the horizon catches the eye, don't know if that's intentional or not, might be worth a play with the spherize command in PS (if you use that)...

Chris is right about the animal in #2, and the stubbies I've had this arvo have nothing to do with it

Like the infra-red shot but looks B&W to me Also, that looks like it would be a great spot to wander down to those rocks for some nice foreground subjects...

Hmm, yeah the pano and the IR shot do seem soft

Nice shots

#1 as mentioned before, the curvature really standsouts, this can either be a good thing or a bad thing, I think you also managed to get someone backpack (maybe your own?) in the shot, I'd try to clone it out, as its a little out of place.

#2 While I like it at first, to be honest my eye quickly runs out of things to look at, so only keeping passing interest

#3 My favourite, really like the mood and atmosphere in this one, dark and brooding.

Looks like a rodent mouth

My fav is the UV shot but some of the rocks are a bit soft. Is it the nature of such photography?

The last shot with the shrubs is really great. There are lots of colour in the greenery and sky. nice

I think it's my camera, the A80 and IR aren't the best partners. I've seen some awesome IR shots from D70's. The main issue with the A80 is apart from being a P&S and being generally crap, when you whack the R72 filter on it, the sensor seems to have a hot spot in the centre. Apart from that, focusing is hard to do due to non-existant AF, and focus at greater distances on the A80 isn't too good.
